Yum update on F7  processed the update to firefox.i386 0:2.0.0.9-1.fc7  
without any problems.  Well,  I used yumex, really, but the results were:

$ rpm -qa | grep firefox
firefox-2.0.0.9-1.fc7
firefox-devel-2.0.0.9-1.fc7

Not a solution for you, I realize, but this information may help you 
narrow down where to look, perhaps.
